in the defense opening statement, the defense lawyer said, "she did it." my client -- she stabbed him to death. but the jury was still having about alibis for the roommates. that's not good. this week, they got more on the road. the jury started having questions that were more feasible or understandable questions. i think that a murder two is a possibility. i still think they should convict on murder one. one thing that's disturbing among many, we uncovered that there was a point in time where jodi arias was begging to plead guilty to murder two. to state under oath on the bible, "i murdered travis alexander." murder two. when the state rejected that, she then switched her defense to self-defense. this is a charade. >> it's interesting to watch how the defendant holds up. at one point i know she broke down during the trial. how do you think she's doing? >> randi, she's like a water faucet. she cries on and off all the time. she typically cries when a discussion to the wounds to travis alexander is shown or photos, sliced up, and her hand. other than that,
